I have a Miller 211. Here is a tip for the Auto-Set feature: If you are using a long cord, you will get a big enough voltage drops to mess it all up. I run .030" wire set on .035, it fixed the issue. Also, unless you are welding sheetmetal forget the 110, it just doesn't have the guts to make clean welds. I run mine on 220 all the time. I love it.

I'd order that miller 180 too ... if I didn't already have 8 welders
what I'd really like to get is a Dynasty 300 ... that would be sweeeet...

The need to cut metal will be present regardless of the size welder you have..So it makes sense to get the best cutting tool for the job

So much time is spent prepping and cutting metal and only a fraction of it is actually welding (depending on what your making)..Alot of my time is spent cutting thicker metals and actually doing so with good quality but cheaper options of metal cutting equipment like Chop saw, and Metal circular cutting saw found in most homeowners metal workshops. A plasma cutter would be awesome to have.Id trade my big welder out for a smaller 110V unit and plasma..

If it were my money, I would pursue the option of the plasma cutter as a priority over getting a larger welder..

What do you do with eight welders? Do they all work? I took advantage of this deal on the Miller 180, and am feeling quite flush with two welders

ETA: Grainger may have sold out of those welders at that price, because the link posted above to the Miller 180 now returns an error message on Grainger's site - "Item cannot be found"

yep they all work except my two Lincoln SA200 pipeliners. which needs carbs rebuilt.

Miller XMT304, Lincoln Idealarc tombstone 250 ac/dc, Marquett 250 amp mig, Thermal Dynamics Plasma cutter, etc.
